Hello all! We covered function notation in class today. Tomorrow we will wrap up our notes on Functions and then spend a lot of the block practicing the different skills. Students who are gone for the Explore test need to stop in and get their homework from me on Thursday or Friday.
Homework (due on the block day):

Update for Monday, October 26
Intermediate Algebra
Hello all! We are still in the process of finishing OLPA testing in Intermediate Algebra. Some students will be finishing up tomorrow in class and some will be getting pulled from other classes to finish this week.
Students will have homework Tuesday night that is due Wednesday.
-Domain/Range and Continuous/Discrete Graphs Video & Notes
-Yellow worksheet
We will be testing on our current unit (functions) on Tuesday, November 3. As mentioned in the email, 7th grade students will miss this due to LEC. They will need to make it up as soon as possible. Their grade will be an incomplete until it is made up. Our following unit will be linear functions!
7th grade Investigations
We are currently in a unit on expressions and equations. We will be taking a short break from it to complete a Halloween activity where students figure out the best bag (size wise) to take trick-or-treating.

Today in class we focused on identifying functions from graphs, tables, ordered pairs, and mapping diagrams. We did an intro activity and then used the analogy of a pop machine to help get familiar with it. Students were given time in class to get started on their homework.

Intermediate Algebra Reminder- Test tomorrow!
Hi all! Just a reminder to Intermediate Algebra students that you have a test tomorrow (or Wednesday depending on what hour you are in) on absolute value and inequalities. You were given two worksheets to help you review. This were handed out at the end of last week.
Here is some additional IXL that may help you review (this is not homework):

Hello everyone! Please see below for updates.
Intermediate Algebra
We finished up all our notes on absolute value and inequalities this week. A score for an exit slip was entered into the grade book. Students will be taking their final unit test on this material next Tuesday or Wednesday (whichever block day they have my class). I gave students two homework assignments- one is book work and is due Monday and the other is two review worksheets that are due on the block day. I like to give review worksheets out early so students have plenty of time to work on them.
Homework due Monday, October 12
Holt 3.7 page 215
Regular: #21-37 odds, 32, 43-49 odds
Challenge: #45, 47, 49-51, 58, 59, 63
Homework due block day (Tuesday, October 13 or Wednesday, October 14)
2 Review Worksheets - handed out in class
Just a reminder that students have 2 weeks from the day a graded assignment is returned to retake it. Some students need to retake the solving benchmark (they will have until Tuesday, October 20 to do this). Students are also asked to stay after when they have 2 or more missing assignments.
Our next unit will be Functions and we will be starting this after MEA!
Investigations
Students are working on their probability projects. They are creating a game or activity using the given resources and writing up rules and directions. They are then going to find the theoretical and experimental probabilities associated with their game. Each group/pair is also determining whether or not their game is fair and why.

End of the week updates Friday, October 2
Hi all! Please see below for class updates.
Intermediate Algebra
Students took their Solving Equations Benchmark yesterday or today in class. Overall students did really well. This was a check of mastery for prior skills so students must score 8/10 or higher to pass. If not, they will need to make corrections and do a retake. Grades for this (called "Solving Equations Benchmark" on schoolview) have already been entered.
Our next unit is absolute value and inequalities. Students have a short homework assignment to complete over the weekend regarding this. The first part of their worksheet has them watch the required video on absolute value equations and take notes (the video is only 5 minutes long). The back of the worksheet has some practice problems they need to complete. This is due Monday, October 5. Our goal is to test on this unit right before MEA.
Investigations
We are finishing up our last activity on probability called Spinning Sums. Students will be working with a partner next week to design their own game. They will decide what materials will be used, what the rules are, and will then analyze the probability of winning/losing.
***I will be available for conferences next Thursday. I look forward to seeing you there!***
